This is (yet another) bencode library for Scala. It's a bit more polished than most, and includes novel features such as documentation and tests, and the ability to serialise to bencode. Crazy, right?

Extensive usage documentation is in the scaladoc, but here's an example as a taster:

// read a torrent file into a BValue:
val torrent = BValue.read(Files.readAllBytes(torrentPath))
torrent match {
  case BDictionary(kvs) => ???
}

// serialise into a byte array:
val array = {
  val builder = Array.newBuilder[Byte]
  torrent.write(builder)
  builder.result
}

This library is not currently being published to e.g. Sonatype. You are instead encouraged to just cut-and-paste the code directory into your own project, ideally after changing the package namespace. Please drop me an email at [email protected] if you do that, so I can advise you of any major changes in the future which you may wish to incorporate into your own copy.
